Description
Educreations software allows instructors to create content on an iPad and lets students interact with this content from any internet connected device. Educreations is a current and effective way to illustrate concepts that would otherwise require a professional graphic illustrator, for example, an instructor can easily upload any video, and then add their own voiceover and text directly into the video with a few finger touches. Students then log in to their Educreations accounts to view the content at any time.
